Answer:

Correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum looks "rough" (see first picture) under electron microscope compared to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (see second picture). The small grayish/black dots are the ribosomes attached to the ER, helping with the translation of  RNA to protein.
